*Tips:
Click on Accept; Microsoft Word will accept the proposed change. If the change was a deletion, Word removes the text and the revision marks. Also, Word removes the callout and the change information from the Reviewing Pane. If the change was an addition, Word adds the text and removes the revision marks. Word also removes the change information from the Reviewing Pane.
Click on Reject; Word will reject the proposed change. Word restores your text to the way it was before the insertion or deletion and removes the callout. Word also removes the change information from the Reviewing Pane.
Clicking on Accept All will cause Word to accept all proposed changes. You will still need to remove the editor comments individually.
